Topic: MediaMVP (Hauppauge) up and running (Read 5976 times)

I have been doing some stuff lately with the mediamvp from Hauppauge to get it running on LMCE. And it does, has only one drawback: everytime a new system (MD etc) is added to the system, the dhcp3.conf file is overwritten so you have to put in your configuration again manually. As my system only changes about once a week it will stay a simple job.

Added a template for the MediaMVP. Then added a new root device with the Ip address and mac and it was nicely added to the dhcp3.conf . The only thing I now miss is the line: filename "/tftpboot/dongle.bin.mvpmc-20080110"; to be added into dhcp3.conf. Is this one of the options in the device template?

I have done quite a bit with the mvp with LinuxMCE 1. Booting of the H32. Emulating squeezebox3. control mvp from LinuxMCE as squeezebox

Questions for you.

1. What ui are you using? looks like the std mvpmc?2. What features are of mvpmc are you using?

thanks

Tim,

up to now it only the myth part I use. I will hopefully be able to extend that to being able to play the iso's as well. I know Myth is capable, don't know how far it will stretch on the Media MVP

1. I am using the standard interface2. None at the moment, except for LiveTV and viewing recordings. Putting in new recordings and showing the present ones works as well. Also guide information is no problem.

I like the MediaMVP concept as it is really low on power consumption, its small, even so small that you can fit it at the back of a TV set. There is a drawback: you won't get any HD out of the equipment, although Dolby Surround via optical/coax is possible after modification. Even a small 2 line display is possible or serial interfaces.

I really do not have a clue if it is possible to swing the bin file around to something that would be seen as a low performance MD, but the guys at mediamvp made this happen as well.

It is the solution where you do not need the full blown MD solution, but need access to audio/video. Perfect for guestrooms maybe even childrens rooms ;-). Beside that you can get hold of them 2nd hand for around 50 euro's in Holland.
